I can't even begin to tell you how lazy I was tonight. It took a WHOLE lot of effort to even take off my kimono nails LOL. I just had a really tiring/drama filled day at work. Man, TV peeps can be so dramatic!
Anyway, I thought I'd do something a bit cheery to lift my spirits a bit and try out some Konad layering. Now, I have discovered that in order to do
wicked awesome Konad layering you obviously have to have more than 5 Konad plates :S BUT I'm workin with what I got :D
So I started off with Orly Snowcone as the base and used a nail art pen in white topped off with Sally Hansen Disco Ball for the clouds. Then with trusty Konad plate M51 and M66 I layered grass with Zoya Veruschka, Nubar Green Tea and OPI Jade is the New Black. Then I freehanded some little ladybugs with black and red nail art pens.
They make me kinda happy! And also kinda sleepy!!
Okay now I figure I'll do at least one more mani until I'm whisked off to Cuba!! I'm such a jet-setter lolz. I'm still torn on what to do for that...any suggestions??

Even when you're tired and sleepy you can come up with this. Sigh. I just wish for such a summer day as this on your nails, and skills to paint it the way you do.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS Niki!!! as always, a STELLAR job. I am continually amazed by your design skills. This is so adorably cute!!
You know, I haven't seen a single lady bug yet this spring - are they all hiding out where you live?
